Part of National Missing Children’s Day on Wednesday, May 25, the Presidio Trust, the United States Park Police and the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association will hold a free Fingerprint Your Child from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Walt Disney Family Museum in the Presidio. Fingerprint cards will be given to parents to keep and distribute to law agencies if, God forbid, anything bad should happen. Parents can also add additional information such as a physical description, medical and dental records, even a DNA sample on the cars, which can then be used by any law enforcement agency to help identify a missing child. No other personal information collected will be kept or stored by any government agency.

Just for fun. [ more › ] Due to a technical glitch of sorts, Harold Camping has revised his rapture date to October 21, 2011. If you recall, the Family Radio minister’s prediction of a ruinous May 21 rapture never happened. During a long-winded 90-minute radio show on Monday night, Camping explained himself thusly: “Were not changing a date at all; we’re just learning that we have to be a little more spiritual about this…But on Oct. 21, the world will be destroyed. It won’t be five months of destruction. It will come at once.” [ more › ] Happy Monday, folks. Today’s end-of-day linkage reveals tidbits like vegans at SF Pride, Kelly’s Mission Rock on the rocks, environmentalists and their banners on the Richmond Bridge, and more. Much more.

The Chronicle’s Leah Garchik reports Mrs. Steel was spotted when she “swooped in” to the festival sporting an “orange chubby“, which is apparently some kind of furry or feathery shoulder covering…and not what you were thinking it was. If Garchik’s description makes Mrs. Steel sound like she is getting ready for another How Weird Street Faire, you’ll have to forgive the prolific author - she did admit she looks like a mess when she’s in town. The author later purchased an oil painting of worn out sneakers by artist Gordon Smedt. [Chron] [ more › ] The Board has another 40 or so agenda items in front of them tomorrow. They have admittedly been doing a decent job of keeping things snappy in the past few weeks, but tomorrow sees the return of two big issues that were tabled over the past month or so: the Parkmerced plan and the AT&T Lightspeed network upgrades. Those issues, plus the rest of the agenda items we’ll be keeping an eye on at tomorrow’s board meeting: [ more › ] Since a trophy, a parade, diamond-encrusted Tiffany rings, permanent ink in the history books, new signage, a reality show, and multi-million dollar salaries aren’t nearly enough, AT&T Park now has plans to create a permanent walkway to commemorate the Giants’ 2010 World Series win. SF Appeal reports: “The walkway will encircle all four plazas of AT&T Park and contain granite markers that will highlight epic moments of the 52-year journey…The walk will also include brick pavers that fans can purchase to mark their own memories of the team’s history.” The brick pavers will run anywhere between $225 to $475, “depending on location.” [ more › ] Wednesday: Fingerprint Your Child at Walt Disney Museum
